MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
FROM: Harry E. Fitzwater
Deputy Director for Administration
Lr6
SUBJECT: Weekly Report for Period Ending 12 April 1985
1. Progress reports on tasks assigned by the DCI/DDCI:
None.
2. Items/events of interest:
a. The Director of Information Services (D/OIS) called a meeting of
the FOIA inter-directorate group on 8 April to discuss the implementation of
the CIA Historical Review Program. The Agency's History Staff will determine
what records are considered of historical significance. The Classification
Review Division (CRD/OIS) will conduct the declassification review. The
Directorate that is the custodian of the records will coordinate the review
and approve release, as appropriate, after which CRD will prepare the records
for release. OIS will then work with the appropriate Directorate and the
National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to accession the records
to the National Archives for access by historical researchers and the public.
b. A representative from OIS, the liaison officer from NARA to the
Agency, and representatives from the Directorate of Operations (DO) began
reviewing OSS motion picture films at the Agency Archives and Records Center.
The NARA liaison officer will be appraising the film to determine its
long-term value and whether it should be accessioned to the National
Archives. Professionally qualified DO classification review officers will be
reviewing the films to determine if there is any classified information.
Films that have long-term value and are determined to be unclassified gill be-
transferred to NARA along with paper OSS records.
c. The Automated Consolidated Translation Survey (ACTS) data base was
developed by the Office of Information Technology in 1983 (formerly ODP) to
provide online access for the Consolidated Translation Survey staff of Foreign
Broadcast Information Services (FBIS) to indexes of English translations. A
request has been received to provide ACTS data to the Foreign Technology
Division (FTD) at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. Extracted data from
the ACTS data base will be provided to FTD, and FTD will format a data base on
their own system, with updates to be provided by FBIS.

d. The Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) supplemental retirement
proposal was received by Office of Personnel (OP) representatives. OPM's
proposal reflects a totally defined contribution plan with no employee
contributions required, but rather funded by the Government at 11.6 percent of
employees' salaries. It also includes retirement at age 59 1/2, with vesting
in benefits after one year, and the opportunity for employees to put up to
$5,000 per year in an IRA. Our evaluation of the OPM proposal is that it
would not provide sufficient retirement replacement income for our employees.
The proposal would be significantly less generous than the present system and
does not provide sufficient survivor benefits to cover the risks that Agency
employees undertake. Based upon earlier discussions with OMB, we presume that
CIARDS participants would be included as exceptions to OPM's proposal, such as
provided for law enforcement officers, fire fighters, and air traffic
controllers.
e. OP hosted a seminar on 3 - 5 April for 26 placement directors from
throughout the country. The DDCI, all four Deputy Directors, as well as
numerous representatives from each Agency Directorate, briefed our guests on
the Agency and each component's role in the Agency mission. In addition, they
discussed the types of employees they need in staffing their respective
offices. The response to the seminar was very positive and included many
compliments for the excellent presentations and particularly for the
professional manner in which the seminar was presented. The placement
directors were unanimous in their appreciation for the DDCI's one-hour
presentation and the indication it gave of the level of importance of
recruitment. The placement directors were extremely appreciative of the
comprehensive nature of the seminar and the openness and friendliness of all
of the Agency people who participated. They left with a much better
understanding of the Agency and stated they felt much better equipped to
counsel their students regarding Agency careers and referring them to our
recruiters. The success of this maiden venture has prompted us to schedule
seminars for June and September with other placement directors from around the
U.S.
f. Approximately 150 people attended a Federal Women's Program
sponsored in celebration of "Women in History." Kathleen Baker, local creator
of musical, historical and educational entertainment programs, presented
"Remember The Ladies, A Celebration of Revolutionary Women,"- Miss Baker
brought wit, humor, song and artistry to the re-creation of distinguished
American women from the early days of our nation. She performed skits from
the lives of women who made creative expressions of their values at a time
when women were expected to "conform."
g. OPM recently expressed an interest in auditing the activities of
the Agency's Government Employees Health Association (GEHA). After several
meetings with OPM auditors, agreement has been reached whereby OPM will not
conduct a full-fledged audit but will only review the Audit Staff's internal
working papers on the GERA audit. Appropriate security clearances will be
obtained for the OPM auditors before such a review takes place.

m. A representative of the Analysis Training Branch, Office of
Training and Education, conducted week-long courses in analytic methodology at
National Narcotics Border Interdiction Service (NNBIS) Centers in New Orleans
from 25 - 29 March and in El Paso from 1 - 5 April. Attending the course were
representatives from several U.S. military commands and Federal agencies
including U.S. Customs, Florida Law Enforcement, and the Marshals Service.
Training at both sites was considered highly successful and the final NNBIS
Analytic Methods Course is planned for the Center in Long Beach, California,
from 15 - 26 April.

n. The Executive Development Program's Seminar "CIA and the Congress"
was held in the afternoons on 1 - 3 April. Senior Intelligence Service

Hamilton, Chairman, House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI);
Thomas R. Latimer, Staff Director, HPSCI; and Patrick J. Leahy, Vice Chairman,
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI).
o. Development of a capability to capture annotated original images
on optical video disks in conjunction with an automated data base management
system has been completed. The Printina And Photography Division, Office of
Logistics (P&PD/OL), and cooperated in this effort which
began in mid-1984. The system provides zoom" capability within any single
video image and will simulate "pans" between images. It will allow current
intelligence information stored in computer memory to be superimposed over
video images.
3. Significant activities anticipated during the coming week:
